Weekly Symptoms thread 6.24

TattoosandLace

lets start over, shall we?

Chawk17

That is crazy that was only 1 week

Well half of the previous thread was...well you know.

ETA: it cut off my post. Ugh.

I have some sort of intestinal bug. And combine that with morning sickness, it just blows. DD has it too. So we are slugs in our pjs today. 

TattoosandLace

Currently no real symptoms for me except constipation and I woke up to throwing up reflux-like stuff, so that was fun.

I brought a sandwich and chips for lunch. I ate it before 10 am. So I left to go pick up second lunch and everything sounded disgusting. I settled for a salad and it tastes gross. So basically I'm constantly hungry but everything tastes bad.

I never had constipation with any prior pregnancy, but the past few days have been rough. I'm trying to up my water intake and hoping that will be enough.

I'm also noticing the increased sense of smell has kicked in.

I'm still SO gassy. I can't sleep on my side because of the pressure, and if I do it's like wringing it out... when I toss and turn I wake myself up burping Sorry if TMI!

I've at least figured out that anything salty triggers my heartburn. Bye bye saltines, hello vanilla wafers lol.

heatherdubrow

I think most of my symptoms are from the PIO injections...so of course my loss brain is going nuts. It doesn't help that they still haven't called with my second beta numbers

I'm with you. I wasn't constipated with my girls. This blows. Double fisting water now. 

hollyk224

I have just been super tired... pretty much exactly what the beginning was like with DD.

eggplantface

Yup, constant hangover feeling.

seitzy3

No sickness yet, I'm enjoying it for now! I'm one big slug these days. Some sore boobs here and there and I have been sleeping like crap. 

Anyone start having the weird pregnancy dreams yet? 

Chawk17

Anyone extra sweaty? I usually don't sweat but had to take a break from Pulling weeds as I was drenched in less than an hour.

JandJ62914

Super hungry but food makes me feel gross. Plus the exhaustion. I just fell asleep playing on the floor with DD and woke up to her yelling, "I want baa baa back seep!" (Baa baa black sheep ) and dropping her nursery rhyme book on my head LOL. Oops! At least DH is home too.

I had to read that post several times to get my mind to accept that it was not saying anything disturbing, lol.

the_other_mother

@seitzy3 yes! I normally have fairly weird dreams and remember them often, but in pregnancy they are like disturbingly vivid.

@meatball37 same with the smells. And now the gag reflex especially with diaper changes.

RSaini

anyone dealing with mood swings? I wish I could control it **Thinking happy thoughts**

SunflowerMama428

Ok so bloat is my symptom. But what I'm really complaining about is that the maternity pants and leggings I bought fit great but I'm too short and have to get them all hemmed. Like come on I know I'm not the only short chubbers out there. My bloat is so bad that I can't wear my old pants and I'm just not mentally ready for this

I have the opposite problem. I'm too tall. All the leggings and pants are too short.

meatballs37

@smorzandoj samesies. I'm tall and wish summer dresses didn't look like shirts on me.

MrsJ2410

+1 for too tall for stuff also the WEIRDEST dreams that are crazy and scary and sometimes involve clients and coworkers which makes me feel weird when I get to work in the morning. 

Chawk17

@heatherdubrow i just go to the lab and pick up my results. It drives my drs office nuts. But i cant wait all day. For a phone call.  Plus I like to have the results to process later.
Is your lab close? Just go get them:)

SunflowerMama428

I know the fashion world is trying to get real about sizes and I think they need to get real about hieghts! I love maxi dresses but I'd trip on my face if I tried to wear one 

Zoey1019

Hungover for the last few days, but oddly enough haven't had ANY drinks! That really does describe it perfectly.

Chawk17

Yep hungover that's the nauseas feeling. Last night I opened the freezer and saw Jaeger and instantly wished I had Rootbeer to make a John B and then remembered ...oh wait..pregnant!
Which I'm sad about because DH friend is having his dirty 30.July 15..and I requested pink panty droppers. Ugh dang it

michelle0003

Random waves of nausea, sore boobs here and there, and I think I might take the award for the most moody person on the planet.

keshupe29

Also feeling the "hangover" others have mentioned. Too bad it's a longer lasting hangover lol. Nausea. Random faint feeling, tired. Crampy a little, but that seems to be decreasing. Tired, gassy, and the dreams seem to be getting more intense. And food doesn't taste good at all. 

the_other_mother

@keshupe29 I'm not to the point of food not tasting good yet, but that really sucks. I am trying to savor every meal because I know it's gonna be a long road.

hullabalou

Random question: I know the general consensus is hair dye is safe but hormones may cause weird coloring. any experience with this? my roots are awful right now and I want to just dye my hair back to my natural color so I won't have to keep dying it during pregnancy, but I don't want my hair to turn green.

olive_lane

Has anyone else experienced a decreased appetite? I haven't had morning sickness or food aversion, just not super hungry. 

@heatherdubrow have they called with your Betas yet?

MrsJ2410

@olive_lane I have that a lot, especially later in the day when I am really tired and spent from the day. 

SunflowerMama428

@hullabalou my OB said hair coloring is safe after first tri. But if your desperate right now you can get a non permanent hair color like a demi because that doesn't use high amounts of whatever the chemical is in developer. Sorry pregnancy brain completely made me forget the word. And I'm a hair stylist too :-P

heatherdubrow

@olive_lane yes! 962, so relieved!

madie008

Ugh I am so hungry and so emotional. I'm going nuts. I feel really bad for my husband cos if it's anything like my last im going to be like this until this new baby stops nursing.

I will just wait it out. I hardly ever style my hair anyway so I will just keep it in a ponytail until I'm out of first tri, it hides my roots better lol.

Nice betas at @heatherdubrow

When I was pregnant with DD my hair that came in was like 5 shades darker. My hair stylist even thought it was odd. I had my hair high/low lighted throughout my pregnancy last time and it never turned out a weird color. 

seitzy3

Yayyy!!! @heatherdubrow

mblomq2

@seitzy3 I have been having more vivid dreams too! Unfortunately in the past week I've had three graphically violent dreams. Wish my vivid dreams were about unicorns or something instead!
